Three.js
HexGL
HexGL is a futuristic browser race built on Three.js. It is older than the current three npm line, but it is still the game people mean when they ask for a Three.js racing example you can clone.

Who it is for
- JavaScript developers targeting WebGL
- People comparing Three.js games to a full engine like Godot
- Intermediate: expect to modernize imports
What you can learn
- A complete Three.js game loop: track, ship, camera
- Browser performance tricks from a shipped web racer
- How a 2010s WebGL game is structured versus a Phaser scene
Clone and run
- Clone BKcore/HexGL.
- Serve the folder with any static server (npx serve, or the repo’s stated command). Do not double-click index.html if modules fail.
- Use a Chromium browser. Track assets are large; wait for the first load.
This is a game, not an engine tutorial. APIs have moved. Use it to learn camera and speed feel, then rebuild pieces on a current three package if you ship in 2026.
Public repositories. The short descriptions are written for this site.
